The exhibition project brings
together four artists who, in their work, continuously engage with limits, both
of architectural space and social and political spaces. The inspiration for the
project is the notion of a wall in its abstracted outlines. The wall separates
what is outside from what is inside; it sets boundaries, defines spaces;
structures and determines the possibilities of what is going on in front,
around or behind her. It never stands by itself, it is the relations with its
surroundings that determine its identity. Anyhow,
the image of the wall is dissolving throughout the exhibition; it is suggested
within notions of limitations or physical barriers, cracks, newly discovered or
newly created spaces, as well as within relationships among the artpieces
themselves.
The work of
British artist Terry Smith is a
continuation of his extensive series of wallcuts, which he created on several
spaces around the world, e.g. at the Tate Modern in London. American artist of
Korean descent Hong Seon Jang, who
in his work deals mainly with temporality of material and the cycle of creation
and destruction, has created an extensive site-specific installation. Korean
artist Deok Yeoung Gim explores the
tension between the surface and internal structures of things and social
phenomena. For the show, he prepared an installation-paraphrase of a postwar
landscape. Czech artist Martin Dašek
worked with the entrance to the gallery and prepared a site specific
installation. Thus, four new large scale
projects were created.
Open daily from 13 to 20 hodin. Voluntary
admission fee.
